How do you deal with them? The only technique I am using is positive self talk - "this is just an intrusive thought and it will pass" but its a pain when they dont pass for a really long time! I want to be able to do something to stop them but I have no idea where to start. I cannot identify any triggers besides stress, but even when I am not stressed they will pop up, they just pass more quickly. I'd like to figure out a way for them to stop happening full stop. Anyone have any tips?
